In addition to being the coolest guy I've ever met, Randal is also the kindest and most generous host you'll ever encounter (and his place is truly wonderful). Despite spending less than thirty total minutes in his presence, I know I will cherish his friendship for years to come, as will I cherish the two months of memories I made at his Greenpoint apartment this summer.
Listen, you would be doing yourself a disservice to pass this listing up. The area is great, the subway is just down the block, and there's an amazing pier view of the city just three blocks away. I walked my dog all over the area every morning and night and never once felt unsafe, and his neighbors are so so kind and welcoming.
I'll leave it at that -- I'm getting all mushy and nostalgic just thinking about it.

great apartment experience! randal's place is perfectly situated for enjoying both brooklyn and manhattan. it's spacious by new york standards, & we liked how he has decorated it with . will definitely consider this place next time we're in the neighborhood. randal is a gracious host too.

Randal was a wonderful and accommodating host. He was very responsive to all communications leading up to and during our stay (seemingly a rarity on Airbnb). The apartment was clean. Perhaps this is just a general NYC/Brooklyn comment, but the place was considerably smaller than we expected (especially for the price point) and a bit challenging for four people. Although the picture does demonstrate it on close look, the second bedroom is really attached to the first with a thin folding door between them. Also, the bunk bed is not full-size, so take note if you have anyone planning to sleep there 6ft tall +. The neighborhood was great and everything else just as expected.

Randal was a wonderful, gracious host. This was our first airbnb experience, so we had some concerns about how it would all work out. But from our first communication with our host it seemed clear that it was going to work out well. Randal was always quick to respond to our queries and was very flexible in allowing us ample time to check in and out. The apartment was exactly as described and we were perfectly pleased with our stay.

Reviews From Hosts

Wonderful, lovely guests! Randal and Chiara could not have been nicer. They were great communicators, incredibly polite, and left our house in perfect condition.
We highly recommend them, and hope that they return to our place again and again!

Randal is a wonderfully funny, chill person with a penchant for keepin' a clean & tidy home. In addition to the bonus that this apartment is in a really safe neighborhood, Randal is a very nice, trustworthy friend that I've counted on for numerous favors (poor thing). We've known each other 6 years now and he's never let me down. He's respectable, professional and cool. 100% recommended.
